Just as a falling apple spurred Isaac Newton's discovery of gravity, toppling dominoes have inspired researchers to build the world's smallest computer circuits. Scientists at IBM's Almaden Research ...

They have linked two tiny structures – quantum dots – in such a way that is essential for the creation of semiconductor-based quantum computers, which could be faster and provide more memory than ...

Scientists may be on the cusp of launching a similar technological revolution — this time using light. In a significant advance toward that goal, the U.S. National Institute of Standards and ...

This article originally appeared in Yale Engineering magazine. Imagine working in an office where, once you’ve finished one task, you had to wait until everyone in all the other cubicles completed the ...

Computer chips that cram billions of electronic devices into a few square inches have powered the digital economy and transformed the world. Scientists may be on the cusp of launching a similar ...
